Two years ago accountant Walter Burien exposed the
existence of a document called the Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report (CAFR) which is compiled each year by most
city, county and state governments. Opposition media
outlets have been publicizing the outrageous implications
of the CAFR, which has prompted thousands of concerned
Americans across the country to access CAFRs locally or
online. Burien has recently reported that growing public
awareness of CAFRs is causing ones from years past to be
removed from the websites of many state governments.
"Before those State CAFR sites are changed, pulled, or
the content of the report modified, please go there and
download a copy of your state CAFR," Burien advised.

The CAFR reveals that the governments of this nation keep
what is tantamount to two sets of books: One set of books
is readily available to the public and shows how taxes must
continually be increased to pay for increased demands upon
government agencies to provide government services. The
other set of books details how governments pool tax
revenues and, with the aid of modern investment strategies,
are able to make millions, even billions of dollars in
profits that are not made available to the public.

Media Bypass magazine published an article by Burien
called, "The Biggest Game in Town (February,
2001). The article makes some startling revelations about
the financial manipulations of most, if not all of the
local and state governments in America. While governments
incessantly complain that they do not have the money to
keep roads adequately repaired or purchase new books and
magazine subscriptions for libraries, investment brokers
are using billions of taxpayer dollars to build
astronomical stockpiles of cash reserves that are hidden
from the public in a variety of ingenious ways that are
documented in CAFRs.

Burien estimates that anywhere from 48 to 65 percent of all
financial activity and asset ownership in the U.S. has
resulted from this illegal use of taxpayer revenues. Burien
claims that 30 years ago the government was only
responsible for eight percent to 12 percent of all
financial activity and asset ownership in this country.

It is important to keep in mind that, while CAFRs prove
that government employee retirement accounts across the
nation are on an average at least 200 percent funded,
Social Security (the peoples' retirement account) is
teetering on the verge of insolvency.

Burien began to uncover the "Biggest Game in
Town" in 1989 after another "read-my-lips
candidate implemented a $2.8 billion tax increase in his
home state of New Jersey. Burien, a seasoned commodities
trading advisor, decided to look at New Jersey's books. He
found that there was $11 billion on budget, $6 billion off
budget and the state had $25.6 billion of net available
funds. "Then I asked myself the number one question
the IRS asks at an audit, 'What are the gross
receipts?'" Burien explained.

At this time he was informed of the CAFR. New Jersey's CAFR
for 1989 showed that the state had liquid investment funds
of $188 billion. The state had a declared service budget of
$17 billion but, in reality, it was bringing in nearly $86
billion and had $799 million in cash. "I saw that
figure and instantly realized the definition of syndicated
organized crime," said Burien.

Since that time, Burien has found that every city, county
and state government in the U.S. is likely participating in
this scheme at some level.

One can also infer that this exploitive money making
machinery, as funded by the American people, is largely
being used to finance the agenda to economically,
politically, spiritually, physically and statutorily
enslave the people of this nation.

"Currently the federal government shows a slight
deficit on budgetary basis, but the profit centers which
would show a $16 trillion positive are excluded,"
commented Burien with regard to questions concerning the
second set of books being cooked on Capitol Hill.

If these monies, which altogether equal trillions of
dollars, were used in the best interests of the people
whose labors generated the investment capital in the first
place, Americans would never have to pay another dime in
taxes.

Burien urges concerned Americans to secure copies of CAFRs
from their city, county and state governments before it is
too late to get them. Burien explains that, "Most of
the CAFRs are in .pdf format [Acrobat Reader]. I have
listed a link offered by Acrobat Reader that allows you to
download a .pdf file as an .html file. This is a big plus
being that some states no longer allow the CAFR to be
downloaded as one file, but have broken it up into 20 to 30
segments. If you do not have the expensive full version of
Acrobat reader, you cannot combine the CAFR segment files
back as one file. But, in .html format, all segments now
can be combined to make one file for that specific CAFR
report after downloading the individual segments.

CAFRs are extremely complex documents that are best
interpreted by persons that have managed extremely large
budgets and have an accounting background. Burien added the
following postscript with specific regard to state CAFRs:
"When you distribute copies of those state reports,
make special mention on those copies that the billions
shown on the state reports is strictly the state's revenue.

It does not show the revenue/investments in most cases from
the hundreds/thousands of other local government operations
within that state whose revenue/investments are in total,
substantially greater than the state's holdings."
